    New Jack Rachett Gen V rendering at allpar

    I noticed the same. Got a good laugh at some of the wheels and roof lines that weren't changed.

    Motons are Ridiculous!!!

    Happens plenty often. Just assumed if this were the case, some of the owners or employees would have split off. In any case, if the new products are just as good, if not better, it should be a product to look into. Relative costs on these?

    Motons are Ridiculous!!!

    Any insight into the corporate change reasoning? Especially if all of the employees and owners are the same?

    Nav/Multimedia Stock Sized Replacement - Review

    I will soon. I'll try to get that together this week. It's not really much programming, you can copy and paste all you need. For all I know they will have modified the file and it'll work for future users.

    Motons are Ridiculous!!!

    How does the "full soft" setting affect handling though?

    New Jack Rachett Gen V rendering at allpar

    Agreed. I'll gladly keep my old model if that's what the new one looks like. I hold out hope though.

    Nav/Multimedia Stock Sized Replacement - Review

    I haven't yet, but I will. I just haven't made the time. I have no background with install costs. I can't imagine what anyone would charge. With my writeup it shouldn't take much longer than a normal install, maybe an extra half hour to an hour tops. I fixed the button push cutting sound...

    5 Spoke Wheels back from Cal Chrome

    That looks fantastic. I have to say coming from a set of chrome 5 spokes on my last car, that makes me consider them.

    How much power can a Built Supercharged, Gen3 make? Take a look!

    Very interested as well. I'm also particularly curious about drivetrain modifications and if this car can really be run all out at the track without fear of blowing the rear, trans, etc. I know we always risk parts breakage, but I'm unaware of the longevity of drivetrain parts. Car sounds...

    Found Some Rear Wheels on eBay someone might like

    Just came across this randomly and thought it was a decent deal for some track wheels out back. If I had 5 spokes all around I'd have already bought these...

    800HP V10 crate engine, 650HP bolt-on kit for Gen III's, announced today

    Question for the more knowledgeable folks.... The "Crate Engine" seems to have a redline over 7k RPM. Is the low redline on the other motors more a function of camshaft or intake limitations or other details? I'm sometimes surprised at the lack of "Cam Only" setups, with the exception of a...

    Gen III to Gen IV Engine Build

    Looks fantastic so far, can't wait to see the finished product. Best of luck with it, but with the skills on your side it's not a matter of luck!

    Nav/Multimedia Stock Sized Replacement - Review

    I just hate the look of the stock radio to be honest. I don't really use anything other than the auxiliary input for streaming music from my phone, so the Bluetooth was a great touch. The unit I'm sure runs winCE but I haven't yet gotten it to boot into the desktop or figured out the backend...

    Nav/Multimedia Stock Sized Replacement - Review

    Surely. Let me take a few screen grabs this week and put it together. The modification isn't difficult, just copy and paste a few lines into a file with notepad, then resave the file and pop the MicroSD card back in. Just diagnosing the problem that was troublesome, and finding the correct...

    800HP V10 crate engine, 650HP bolt-on kit for Gen III's, announced today

    I have a hard time believing there will be a 150 hp bump with a set of heads, intake and throttle body. Assuming parasitic losses stay the same, we'd be looking at 560RWHP with this setup, and I don't know of any stock cam SRT10s making that kind of power. If this is true though, it'll...

    Nav/Multimedia Stock Sized Replacement - Review

    They seem to have raised the price in the past two weeks. $450 now. http://www.amazon.com/Koolertron-Navigation-1999-2004-Cherokee-Chrysler/dp/B005LFV5Y4 Don't see any reason it wouldn't work on all Gen3/4 cars, as to the best of my knowledge they are all the same.

    Nav/Multimedia Stock Sized Replacement - Review

    It does play DVDs, the Nav is stored on a MicroSD card. There is another MicroSD slot for music storage as well. I have not used this or the USB hookup yet, the streaming Bluetooth media was most attractive to me. I do not believe any competent installer should have an issue, but they...

    just bought 06 paxton coupe... question?

    He's correct 99% of the time. However it's cheap insurance to just at least throw it on the dyno and check out the air/fuel mixture. Can you imagine if you really had to retune for every location? The OEMs would have to tune for each dealership and going on a roadtrip would be impossible...

    Nav/Multimedia Stock Sized Replacement - Review

    As promised, here's the review on the "Koolertron" Stock sized replacement All-in-one Navigation/Multimedia center. At $400+ Shipping it was a high risk high reward situation I had to try. I ordered on a Thursday and had it on Monday, quick shipping. Initial impressions from the box were...

    Introduction for Gen V / New York Autoshow / Group Ticket Purchase

    I'll be there. 2.5 hour drive and a close friend in Manhattan. Sounds like a great weekend trip already.

    Anyone install the new Mygig head unit in a gen 3?

    I'll make a full thread tomorrow but you can indeed stream audio with the Chinese all-in-one over Bluetooth. It also has an aux in, a great GPS, DVD, Bluetooth phone, internal storage, although the screen is smaller, the quality is lower and there are some quirks to the install. But it looks...

    just bought 06 paxton coupe... question?

    That depends on who it was tuned by to begin with, and the relative elevation change. I would at least check the tune or bring the car to a reputable tuner. I would be weary about someone advertising crank HP though, very unlikely they measured that and are more likely back calculating. Aside...

    Anyone install the new Mygig head unit in a gen 3?

    Well as an update on my part with regards to the "Koolertron", I do have the headunit installed and working. GPS functions very well and the interface is very friendly. It's also a complete executable that's hosted on a microSD card and can be tweaked/hacked easily to your likings. It's an...

    Anyone install the new Mygig head unit in a gen 3?

    I started by modifying the head unit itself, moving the front face. unfortunately this misaligns the dvd slot too much. Later I will attempt to fix this, but most likely willneed to trim the inside dash plastic surround to make it fit. it does look pretty good, the interface isn't as bad as...

    Anyone install the new Mygig head unit in a gen 3?

    CAUTION: This does not fit at all in the Viper. It was clearly made for a larger dash whereas the viper has a magnesium/aluminum reinforcement which does not allow for much vertical tolerance. The Koolertron headunit is approximately 0.150 too tall to fit in the opening. It can be modified to...
